sidesman

That was not the case, because Mr. Mowll was a member of the Church of England and a sidesman.

And then very quietly he stole one mole-like look into his sidesman's face.

Whether the John of 1646 was the same as the sidesman of 1605 or not, he was certainly buried in the parish.

A stickler was a sidesman to a fencer, so called because he carried a stick, wherewith to part the combatants.

He obeyed passively, became a sidesman, and in due course vicar's warden.
